Oliver Halsman Rosenberg is a multi-disciplinary artist, and archivist of The Philippe Halsman Archives. For the past 11 years he has engaged in a “Nomadic Studio Practice” which has lead to unusual encounters in extraordinary places, all transmuted through multiple art mediums, including book making. His work has been shown in galleries and institutions, and written about in Parkett and The New York Times. Recently his interest is printing by hand in an analog color darkroom.
